Jean and I have been friends for a long time. She is in heaven now with her husband. Goodbye Jean, love you.
What a great grandma and mom! She will be dearly missed. Prayers for the family.
Mary Ann,
You and your family are in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Mary Kaiser
Look at your mother, bringing everyone together as she makes her way to God’s dwelling place. I know you’ll miss her. She spoke so lovingly of each one of you any time I was privileged to talk with her at birthdays, grandparent day, graduation, weddings or when she was present just to help out and see the kids. She has a lot to be proud of. Keep her smile in your memories and share your stories with love.
We met and got to know Jean in recent years after we joined the St. Ambrose Senior Citizens Club. We always looked forward to the monthly meetings of the club when we arrived early and had such wonderful conversations with Jean. We will miss her. We extend our condolences to the Garbo family. Frank and Joanne LoRusso
So sorry for your loss I worked with Jean at imos she was a sweet person kind and loving loved her family she will surely be missed
Just learned of Jean’s passing. She was a, kind, fun and sweet person. I remember her while I was a young adult from St. Aloysius parish and then as an older adult at St. Ambrose.. She always had such a positive outlook and a smile on her face. The earth has lost an angel and heaven has gained one.
My deepest sympathy to her family.
Ms Garbo and her family lived on Magnolia for years she and her husband were. The nicest couple. Please except my sympathy to Russ and family
